On their upcoming Execution Style/Universal release, Who's Gonna Take
Us Alive?, THE BANGKOK FIVE prove that they are more than mere contenders
along for the ride. Dropping on March 28th, 2006, the performances on
Who's Gonna Take Us Alive? are blistering and sure to play on the insecurities
of haters everywhere. Hailing from America's favorite cesspool--Hollywood,

Silver Lake siblings- The whole; "Look at me, I'm not trying, I'm so
ironic" thing...Frost- Croons (vocals) and plays with himself.Holcolm Ks.-
